Great marketing should be available to every brand, big or small, and every great creator should be rewarded for their creativity. But it hasn’t always been the case.
The path was messy, expensive and required hard work without the promise of results. Simple had been forgotten and complicated was just accepted.
Founded in 2015 by Aaron Brooks and Ben McGrath, Vamp connects brands with influential creators to make collaboration simple.
Since then, we’ve built an end-to-end creator marketing platform, grown to a global network of 45,000+ creators, achieved accredited partner status with Instagram, Meta, TikTok and YouTube, and worked with some amazing brands like Adobe, Converse, Diageo, Estée Lauder, and Samsung to name a few. We’ve scaled to eight offices globally and are proud to be recognized by Deloitte as one of the fastest-growing tech companies in Asia Pacific.
Aaron Brooks and Ben McGrath co-founded Vamp as a way to connect brands to talented content creators. Out of their Sydney HQ, Vamp began building their invite-only community of influencers, focusing on delivering high-quality branded content.
Remaining true to taking a pro-influencer approach, Vamp’s app is launched. It’s designed to streamline the collaboration process between brands and creators. From delivering opportunities to applying for briefs, uploading content and invoicing, the app manages campaigns from end to end.
Vamp continues its global expansion, reaching Indonesia to work with brands such as Nivea, Rexona and HSBC. Japan follows, winning clients such as Disney, Estée Lauder, and Starbucks.
